The Whole World is waiting...
I love these photos on:
"Obama's People" in The New York Magazine with the nice commentary check it out.
I also liked this interactive page they had set with all the inaugural addresses of all the 43 presidents before Obama under:
January 17, 2009
Inaugural Words: 1789 to the Present


A look at the language of presidential inaugural addresses. The most-used words in each address appear in the interactive chart below, sized by number of uses. Words highlighted in yellow were used significantly more in this inaugural address than average.

I am trying to find links to watch the inauguration on the web in my clinic in between patients till this time I found these links:
http://www.cnn.com/live/
http://www.nytimes.com/ which has a link to a live video to start 11:30 am EST
